A celebration of cycling in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area with hundreds of community events including rides, races, tours, festivals, and more.

What began in Toronto as a Bike to Work Day celebration in 1989 has evolved to become one of the largest events of its kind in Canada and is now coordinated by Cycle Toronto. Bike Month brings together families, artists, commuters and community groups to promote cycling at hundreds of events all month long.

Public Meeting Waterfront Toronto, in collaboration with the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, is developing a precinct plan for the Cousins Quay Precinct. We invite you to attend a public meeting to provide feedback on the development of this precinct plan. At this first public meeting we will present guiding principles and several different options for how the precinct could be developed. Your participation and ideas are important and will help shape the future of the Cousins Quay Precinct and the Port Lands.

The City of Toronto is working on a wayfinding strategy and is encouraging the public to get involved. Wayfinding refers to a system for helping residents, commuters and visitors find their way around a city. More than just signs and maps, wayfinding also involves names, landmarks and new media, as well as elements of the public realm such as lighting, street furniture and public art.

The City of Toronto is looking for public input on the Citys response to the July 2013 flood and the December 2013 ice storm. From May 9 to May 30, residents are invited to tell the City what worked well in their neighbourhoods, what needs improving, and how the City can support its residents in future weather emergencies.

The City has scheduled four public information and consultation sessions at City civic centres and has launched a consultation website at http://www.toronto.ca/weatherprooftoronto.

The City of Toronto will perform significant road work in 2014, including road resurfacing projects, to continue improving road conditions for all users.

The City will spend more than $215 million this year to improve the quality of Toronto's roads, expressways and bridges. In 2013, Toronto Council approved a 10-year rehabilitation plan that will see $30 million a year in extra funding for the rehabilitation of major roadways across the city.

The City of Toronto, with support from the TTC, will be hosting two public events in your community to introduce you to the Relief Line Project Assessment. We are seeking input on the proposed study process (Terms of Reference) and our approach to public consultation for the study.

Date:                   Thursday, April 10, 2014 Open House:    5:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. (presentation starts at 6:30 p.m.)

Letter on the Island Airport

April 3, 2014

Dear Friends,

I believe in a Toronto waterfront that is planned carefully, balances uses, and provides Torontonians with a first-class waterfront, and I hope you do too.

Last year, Porter Air approached the City to re-open the Tripartite Agreement, but this process has made it clear that there is a lot of work that needs to be done to properly manage any new growth at the island airport, whether jets or no jets. From 2006 to 2012, the number of passengers flying out of Billy Bishop increased from 26,000 per year to 2.3 million per year. Under the current agreement, there is no framework to manage this growth, and the impact on local infrastructure or residents.

In advance of new streetcar track construction on Leslie Street, TTC is implementing major upgrades to underground infrastructure. Work includes various utility upgrades including installation of a new water main to replace the over 80 year old service. Following the underground infrastructure works, TTC will build new streetcar tracks on Leslie Street to connect to the existing tracks at

The website of the Major Capital Infrastructure Coordination Office (www.toronto.ca/mcic) has been expanded to show the location and type of infrastructure that is planned for construction in 2014 and 2015.  New water, sewer, transit and transportation projects are illustrated, as well as work that will be performed by utility companies and other City divisions and external agencies.
